I Dont use this account Anymore why is it still here

Noted, thanks Samuel ??

Just bringing this back into light.

You’re right, it isn’t an exploit, only initial signs of the issue were showing me it was as non WordPress sites were unaffected on the same server.

However, 2 months on, I have found that it was an issue with WordPress running on IIS, namely permissions. Scanning the web this is a known issue which I believe I have found the answer too (finally!).

Anyway, it was resolved, sorry Justin for misleading you! :s

Hi Shelley,

I am aware it is not an issue with WordPress and it was a security issue of the site. As I maintain various WordPress sites and a regular here, I thought it might be helpful for the people out there who may be trying to find the fix for it.

Nevermind.

Hi CC,

I was just going to suggest its something to do with your stylesheet overiding changes, but you’ve worked that one out ??

All of these tags are using “LeagueGothicRegular”, font weight normal:

.nav, h1, h2, h3, h4, .home_tagline h1, .tagline h1, .over span, .dropcap1, .dropcap2, .bold, .nivo-caption

You could try taking “Patua one” out of the h1 tag on the stylesheet to be sure (just by commenting it out), but as far as I can see it looks good.

Nice looking site btw ??

Hi Globalfish,

I also found that

<?php
require_once('../../../wp-load.php');
global $wpdb;
$table_name = $wpdb->prefix . "imlisteningto";
$wpdb->insert( $table_name, array( 'album' => $_POST['album'], 'artist' => $_POST['artist'] ) );
?>

Also worked, but yes I forgot to mention that $format as described here also caused problems. With that dropped, it worked.

UPDATE – I got it working by doing this:

<?php
require_once('../../../wp-config.php');
global $wpdb;
$table_name = $wpdb->prefix . "imlisteningto";
$wpdb->insert( $table_name, array( 'album' => $_POST['album'], 'artist' => $_POST['artist'] ) );
?>

I.e. I need to include wp-config.php. If I drop that, it breaks.

Starting a new thread

Oh, and also tried

$rows_affected = $wpdb->insert( 'music', array( 'album' => $album, 'artist' => $artist ), array( '%s', '%s' ) );

Forgot to say, I also tried

$wpdb->insert( 'music', array( 'album' => $album, 'artist' => $artist ), array( '%s', '%s' ) ) with a semicolon at the end.

still no success.

Demon, whats your URL?

You know, I’ve just had this exact problem on a clients server and fonglh is right, ensure PHP is running.

I would guess that the username and password are correct, but the mysql user does not have sufficient permissions to do anything with the database. Check those details first, perhaps contacting your host if you need to.

All that needs to be done is what fonglh says, and that is to install WordPress once you have uploaded it.

Perhaps these instructions will help:

However, what I would recommend doing is installing WordPress, and then exporting the content from your current host and then importing in your new site.

Something isn’t set up properly on your hosting side.

I manage to navigate to geologicalmicroscopes.com/index.html and found this:

<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>

So, WordPress appears to be there, but again it downlaoded the index.html. Speak to your hosts.
